Aviation safety reports, made easier to study
NTSB Reports is an independent research and search tool for public aviation accident and incident records. It brings NTSB aviation reports, structured fields, docket files, extracted figures, photos, videos, and update history into one searchable interface.
The goal is practical safety education: make it faster to find relevant investigations, compare similar events, review factual records, and understand the evidence behind probable-cause and preliminary reports.
The investigative work and source records belong to the National Transportation Safety Board and the published investigation record. This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NTSB.

UPON ARRIVAL AT THE UNCONTROLLED ARPT, NEITHER THE INSTRUCTOR (CFI) NOR THE STUDENT OBSERVED THE ARPT'S WIND SOCK. THE ACFT WAS OBSERVED TO TOUCH DOWN MIDWAY DOWN THE RWY & BOUNCE ONCE DURING THE LANDING. AS THE ACFT NEARED THE END OF THE RWY, THE CFI REALIZED THAT THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT REMAINING RWY TO STOP, SO SHE TOOK OVER THE CONTROLS. THE STUDENT STATED THAT THE CFI DID NOT INSTRUCT HIM TO RELINQUISH CONTROL, & THE CFI STATED SHE DID NOT DIRECT HER STUDENT TO RELEASE ALL THE CONTROLS. THE ACFT VEERED OFF THE RWY & SUBSEQUENTLY IMPACTED A 3-FT HIGH EMBANKMENT.
